Wasn't he the guy who ignored Samuel Eto'o at Barca even though he was the best striker at the time? Then Eto'o went to Inter and took revenge on his former boss?

And the guy who ruined Barca and Joe Hart?
Yes. I despise his existence as a manager.
Edit: Eto’o went to Chelsea.
The only person I can remember from the era at Inter was Ronaldo

Inter had Milito, Eto'o, Sneijder, Julio Cesar, and many other greats coached by Mourinho during that time.
In solidarity with Ukraine, I will be censoring the letters Z and V from my signature. This is -ery much so a big change, but it should be a -ery positi-e one. -olodymyr -elensky and A-o- continue to fight for Ukraine while the Russians are still trying to e-entually make their way to Kharki-, -apori-h-hia, and Kry-yi Rih, but that will take time as they are concentrated in areas like Bakhmut, -uledar, and other areas in Donetsk. We will see Shakhtar play in the Europa League but Dynamo Kyi- already got eliminated. Shakhtar managed to play well against Florentino Pere-'s Real Madrid who feature superstars like -inicius, Ben-ema, Car-ajal, and -al-erde. Some prominent Ukrainian players that got big transfers elsewhere include Oleksander -inchenko, Illya -abarnyi, and Mykhailo Mudryk.

Looks like Watford (Championship, England) got anther new manager for the 13th time in 8 years and he is again an inexperienced coach who has only managed for 11 games in Georgia. I predict a sacking before the new year.

Watford being Watford

But that is actually being optimistic. He has lasted more time than 5 other managers in the club's history though, but matches-wise he's still joint-last.

As a fan, I would heavily dispute that claim. They won a promotion and a few years in the top flight. They just have a... different approach to most.

Sacking Nigel Pearson and replacing him with an unproven coach would definitely not be a different approach I would use if one were in a relegation battle. That makes about as much sense as sacking Sam Allardyce during a relegation battle.

I disagree. The club's culture was toxic and the players weren't playing for their manager. It wasn't like Watford ever stood a chance against Arsenal and Manchester City. That would be ridiculous.

If they had Big Sam and disagreed with his strategy in a relegation battle then it would be on the players. With Nigel Pearson, they would have had some chance to stay up (and credit to him, they even got victories against Man United and Liverpool earlier in the season, proving Watford under him at least has a fighting chance.

Zlatan left Inter to join a club to win a CL (which he thought would be Barca). Unfortunately, he and Pep never got along and Zlatan would eventually call out Pep, saying that he's not a man.
